Do all hotel booking sites look the same after a while? Get ready to be amazed.
Name: Little.Voyage
What it does: This website opens the door to immersive travel through distinctive properties around the world. Hotels are grouped according to category: boutique, eco-friendly, fabulous, hideaway, quirky and shoestring.
What's hot: It's refreshing to search for travel by image and experience rather than destination and date. Next to the photos is essential information such as closest airport, destination facts, and currency and visa requirements. You can look at pictures of islands, beaches and cities, but if you want to expand your travel to the ice canyons of Greenland, the northern lights of Lapland, the prehistoric lakes of Bolivia or the neon glow of the oceans in the Maldives _ make sure you click on "Surreal" in the "Destinations" section. Succinct information at the bottom of the page directs travelers to local weather and time-to-go options, what makes the destination special and a short list of things to do.
What's not: It's a bit of a chore to book a property _ it's not a one-click process. If you're used to that hotel room price tag front and center, you won't find it here. Scroll down to the lower-right section of the property's description page and look for your next click under "Where to Book." You might find three websites to choose from or just the direction and link to "Book Direct."
